Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Jodie Cunningham reports :

#1: A flaw was found in the way FreeXL reads sectors from the input file. A specially crafted file could possibly result in stack corruption near freexl.c:3752.

#2: A flaw was found in the function allocate_cells(). A specially crafted file with invalid workbook dimensions could possibly result in stack corruption near freexl.c:1074

#3: A flaw was found in the way FreeXL handles a premature EOF. A specially crafted input file could possibly result in stack corruption near freexl.c:1131

#4: FreeXL 1.0.0g did not properly check requests for workbook memory allocation. A specially crafted input file could cause a Denial of Service, or possibly write onto the stack.

Solution

Update the affected package.
